Have you recently brought home a new pup or adopted a rescue hound? Or perhaps you fancy teaching your old dog some new tricks? Good training is the key to a well-behaved pooch and can be really transformative. Working together, one on one or in group classes, provides the opportunity to socialise, learn commands and address any specific behavioural issues. We’ve compiled a list of the city’s top canine trainers…
Tail Academy
Tail Academy helps families train their dogs through play in locations throughout Edinburgh and surrounding areas. Most of their training sessions focus on changing a dog’s behaviour and they recognise that the behaviour is usually driven by the dog experiencing an emotional response to a situation. Their focus is to change the dog’s emotional response so that your dog becomes calm, settled and optimistic.
Walk and Train Edinburgh
Walk and Train’s behaviour consultations are tailored to each individual dog with services covering basic to advanced obedience as well as behaviour modification. Their aim is to help you enhance the bond with your dog by creating clear communication and mutual understanding. They will teach you what your dog’s body language is telling you and how to effectively use your own body language to create a meaningful and positive relationship. The result is a happy, calm and responsive dog.
